The next day, except for Ma Kai, who got up early to cook, the other three veterans still slept until three o'clock in the morning. At the No. 1108 Observatory where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the military discipline is like this, and it is not worthy of human feelings.

The clatter of pots and pans in the crowded kitchenette was accompanied by the snoring of the veterans, who could not get up in the morning even if they did not sleep late at night. Perhaps this is the after-effect of their long stay at Observatory 1108, or perhaps the only rebellion they have against the unwillingly boring life.

"Ugh." Ma Kai sighed and continued his work, saying that making breakfast was actually just a military bento for three people, adding water and then putting it in the microwave to heat it, and it was not effortless. The grassroots soldiers eat this kind of simple food, although it is not delicious, but the nutritional value is really sufficient. It was undoubtedly a treat for Ma Kai, who had a problem even filling his stomach when he was in his hometown, and whenever he smelled the aroma of steaming food when it was hot, he couldn't help but think of his mother's sister, who was still suffering in his hometown. I just don't know if in a few years he will become accustomed to everything at Observatory 1108 and become numb.

"Huh? It's strange......" Ma Kai frowned, why can't the microwave oven that used to be very good not be heated, is it broken? Fiddling with the switch twice with my hand still didn't help. "Is there no power?" Ma Kai muttered again, it had been three months since he arrived at Observatory 1108, and he had never experienced a power outage. The military lines here are very reliable, relying on the underground fortress-like construction mode of the 1108 observatory itself, which can withstand the impact of small nuclear bombs, how can such a tight barrier fail?

Ma Kai turned on the circuit switch and checked, "Not good! It's really a power outage......" An inexplicable sense of foreboding came to my heart, perhaps because the habits of the recruits had not been completely worn out by 1108's comfortable life. He rushed to the dormitory, ignoring the danger of being beaten by the veteran, and shook Station Chief Zhao Gang awake.

"Oh no, Boss! The circuits at our observatory are dead. ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Gang, who was about to go crazy because his good dream was interrupted by Ma Kai, a spirit jumped up from the bed and asked loudly, "What did you kid say?" You're not kidding me, are you? ”

"It's really wrong!" Ma Kai replied in a cold sweat.

Zhao Gang's eyes widened, glared at Ma Kai angrily, and suddenly turned his head to the still sleeping Fat Dong and the bear and yelled: "Rabbit cubs all get up for me!" If you sleep again, I'll kick your ass! Before he finished speaking, he kicked Fat Dong and Bear off the bed with two "bangs", and didn't even give these two guys a second to get up.

"Boss, what's wrong? Are you crazy? Fat Dong got up from the ground with a roll, looked at Zhao Gang, who was still in his pajamas, and couldn't help but return the sentence habitually with a gag.

"******, there are no soldiers! Be careful that Lao Tzu whips you again! Zhao Gang's eyes shot a sharp cold light, which was the eyes of people who had really been on the battlefield and seen hell. Just one sentence frightened Fat Dong and stood up straight like a recruit.

"Dress me at once, and the bear will go and turn on the backup power; Fat Dong went to check whether the communication with the division headquarters was normal, and remembered that he was not allowed to report the situation here to the higher authorities without my order; Pony and I check the circuit. Fast! Hurry! "Zhao Gang drove this group of soldiers like piglets.

Ma Kai watched with some amazement as the stationmaster impatiently arranged his subordinates, although the nervousness of the recruits made him report the power outage to Zhao Gang. But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Gang, who had always been indifferent, would have such a big reaction, as if he had changed someone.

Indeed, if a power outage is something like a thing that may be commonplace in the rear, even if the combat troops on the front line often face power outages and water outages in extremely difficult environments, they generally have to deal with them, and they will definitely not let the leaders pay attention to this extent. However, the situation of Observatory 1108 is different, it is located in the vast Great Gobi Desert, there is no help for hundreds of miles, electricity is the only power to maintain the life of the observatory and defend against enemy attacks, without power they can not even hold out for three days. What's more, as the station commander Zhao Gang is worried that it is not only these, the power outage of the No. 1108 observation station must be a problem in one aspect, if it is finally found out that the problem is on his side, then as a leader, he will definitely be held accountable by the front-line division headquarters, and the good days of being the number one soldier of the No. 1108 observation station may come to an end.

"Boss, there's no problem with the backup power, it's already turned on." The bear shouted hello.

"Hmm."

"Boss, the connection with the division headquarters has been cut off, and I can't connect at all. The machinery and equipment are fine, I'm afraid the line is broken. Fat Dong reported in frustration after trying to connect to the front-line division headquarters after the backup power supply was turned on, but to no avail.

"Hmm......" Zhao Gang, who was overhauling the power line, looked sink, "Can you determine whether the line is aging or has it been cut off?" ”

Fat Dong shook his head and said, "I can't be sure of this in the station." "Among the four people at Observatory 1108, Fat Dong has the most clever mind, so the complicated communication equipment is generally entrusted to him to manage, and even Zhao Gang's skills in this area must be consulted by him.

"Damn! , what is going on, God forbid, don't do anything big! Although everything is still calm, Zhao Gang's heart is flooded with waves that have not been seen for many years, and a growing sense of uneasiness envelops his heart, and now he can only pray in his heart that everything is just a technical problem, everything is a false alarm, and it will soon pass.

It's a pity that it backfired, maybe the gods and Buddhas had already abandoned everyone on this earth, and naturally they wouldn't take special care of the four big-headed soldiers nestled in Observatory 1108. Zhao Gang used a steel brazing to pry open a circuit cover, and suddenly a "thing" that shouldn't appear here came into his eyes!

"What the hell is this?" Ma Kai beside him couldn't help but ask. A mouse-shaped beetle-like creature was crawling on the cable with its teeth and claws, and beside it was a cut of cable that had been clearly bitten off. This large excessive beetle is obviously not a good kind, and the large and amazing mouthparts immediately tell others who the murderer of the cable sabotage is, and the black carapace faintly reflects the golden light. The most terrible thing is that it is obviously a beetle, but it has a pair of eyes like a small mammal like a mouse, flashing with a fierce light, not afraid of humans at all, and seems to be staring at Ma Kai and Zhao Gang as if it is provocative, which makes people panic.
